Chapter 43 Emergency Summoning
Rushed to the top on Monday, urgently seeking recommendation votes and member clicks. This week there are no good recommendations, all relying on everyone's support T-T
The match had just begun, and the score on the field seemed to prove this point. Yang Chen, a former Bundesliga player and Shenzhen Jianlibao striker, seized an opportunity for a quick counterattack and broke through the Dongfang team's goal, helping his team take a 1-0 lead...
However, just 3 minutes later, the Eastern team's right winger, Ribery, used his personal ability to shake off two Jianlibao players and shot from distance, but the angle was too straight and was saved by the goalkeeper. Just as the home fans were sighing in disappointment, Gao Jun, who should have been double-teamed by two Jianlibao players, suddenly appeared deep in the penalty area, and with a single touch of the rebounded ball, the score was tied at 1:1...
In the 27th minute of the first half, Kornei, who played as a defensive midfielder, unexpectedly carried the ball forward, passing two people and shooting from the edge of the penalty area. The ball flew into the net like a cannonball, expanding the score to 2-1, and Dongfang team successfully reversed the game! Kornei's wonderful goal also triggered loud cheers from the fans in the stands.
11 minutes later, Kornei sent a wonderful straight pass. Gao Jun relied on his fast start to get rid of the entanglement of two Jianlibao players and quickly inserted forward, forming a single knife and easily breaking the goal. The Oriental team expanded the score to 3:1!
In the 17th minute of the second half, Ribery dribbled past multiple defenders and was about to make a cross-field pass to himself for a shooting opportunity. However, he heard Gao Jun calling for the ball in French, hesitated slightly, and then passed the ball to the front of the goal. But this slight delay allowed the opponent's defender to catch up with Gao Jun, who didn't expect him to make a half-turn and move away from himself, and then use his left foot's heel to kick the ball into the net, making the score 4-1! Against the CSL champion Shenzhen Jianlibao team, young Gao Jun miraculously scored a hat-trick!
Xu Genbao was about to substitute Gao Jun, so that he could receive the applause of the fans alone, but at this time, the Eastern team got another chance to counterattack. After receiving a pass from Korner, Gao Jun sent a precise through ball to Ribery in front of him, helping him form a single-handed shot and score, 5:1!
Up to now, the morale of Shenzhen Jianlibao team has been completely destroyed. The once mighty Chinese Super League champion, trailing by so many goals, surprisingly kept passing the ball back to their own half after gaining possession, trying to waste away the last bit of time. Their head coach Zhu Guanghu was furious, his face turning pale with rage, but eventually he slumped down in his seat, sighing and gazing far away at the young player who was being cheered on by the entire stadium...
The personal performance of Kornei in this game shocked the whole audience, but what really defeated Jianlibao team was still the sharp counterattack of Dongfang team. After Hou Jiamin, the original main right winger, left, Dongfang team's attacking strength on the wing was greatly weakened. However, Ribery's 11-second speed over 100 meters combined with his dribbling ability, which far exceeded the level of the Chinese Super League, made him much more useful in counterattacks than Hou Jiamin. Moreover, Jianlibao team did not know about his many shortcomings at that time and had to press on with the attack for the sake of winning the first place in the CSL. As a result, Dongfang team's counterattack was accurate, and Jianlibao team's defeat was not surprising.
However, if there was no Gao Lin who excelled at grasping opportunities, the Eastern team would not have won so many games. If you only look at the data, this game actually can't be said that Jianlibao played very badly, their possession rate reached 55%, and they had four more shots on goal than Dongfang, but Dongfang scored five goals with just 12 shots, among which Gao Lin scored all four of his shots, it can be said that Jianlibao was almost defeated by him alone...
The first round of the match ended like this, and the second round was no longer a big suspense. The Dongfang team, although unable to score as many goals in the away game under the opponent's strict defense, whether it was 2:0 or more than 60% possession rate, were enough to explain that it was a complete victory. In the situation where multiple people were tightly guarded (this is also a double-edged sword, putting too many hands into defense, resulting in a significant reduction in Shenzhen Jianlibao's attacking power), Gao Jun still completed one shot and one pass, and was once again rated as the best player of this match. Moreover, his exceptionally brilliant performance in these two matches unexpectedly opened the door to the national team for Gao Jun.
It turned out that the national football team's head coach, Arihan, had been paying attention to this little guy who made him both love and hate him, even though he didn't include Gao Jun in the training list. After seeing Gao Jun's dreamy performance in the FA Cup quarterfinals, he finally made up his mind, giving up 21-year-old young striker Zhang Xiang and making room for the even younger Gao Jun to be urgently called into the national team...
At this point, there are only a few days left before the Asian Cup kicks off, but Gao Jun is still performing well in the short training period. Of course, this is also because he is in the substitute lineup, and everyone wants to compete for the main position with their outstanding performance, so the phenomenon of squeezing out new players is not severe yet. Otherwise, if he were to enter the main lineup, it's hard to say how many people would be willing to pass the ball to him. Not to mention others, but those three core players from Shenzhen Jianlibao team are always blowing their beards and glaring their eyes, aren't they just taking advantage of your absence to slaughter Jianlibao team?
Seeing Gao Jun's increased running distance in training (Note 1), Ali Han nodded secretly, but the average running distance of less than 3000 meters per game still couldn't satisfy him. Moreover, the time for Gao Jun and the whole team to practice together was really too short. Therefore, although Gao Jun helped the substitute lineup defeat the main lineup multiple times in training, Ali Han still kept him on the bench in the first match against Bahrain...
In the 41st minute of the first half, Huber's volley from a long pass from his teammate put the ball into the net, and Barin took the lead. In the 12th minute of the second half, China got a penalty kick opportunity, and Zheng Zhi scored to tie the score at 1:1. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Shao Ke cleverly passed the ball to Zhou Ting, who sent a straight pass to Da Wei's feet, and Da Wei pushed the ball into the net with his left foot, helping China reverse the score.
At this time, Ali Han saw that the Chinese team was leading in score and had completely controlled the situation, thinking that the overall situation had been settled, so he replaced Shao Jiayi with Sun Jie in the 32nd minute of the second half. This is because Shao Jiayi is currently in the recovery phase, and Ali Han only let Shao Jiayi play for more than 40 minutes on the field out of protection for the player. But the problem is that this was the last substitution quota for the whole game, which means that Gao Lin could not appear in this game...
Note 1: It is mainly the continuous enhancement of physical fitness that allows Gao Lin to seize opportunities that he could not grasp before, and naturally, the number of runs has also increased accordingly. In addition, the gradual change in kicking technique has led to a decrease in Gao Lin's requirements for shooting opportunities, which is also an important reason. Moreover, with the increase in attacking points within the team, Gao Lin's times of pulling away to cover and support his teammates' attacks have also become more frequent.
